Maybe he's just seeking attention from her while she's on stage giving a presentation he wasn't invited to?

as i said before, He writes all or most of her arguments. She just makes them palatible. Hell she even thanks him for his help in her thesis work. She will never throw him out. I think their should be feminist critics of games, its just they are poo poo at it.

I have only recently started following the guy on twitter, as I said before, his latest stuff is about how Batman is a male power fantasy that tortures people throughout the games. I wouldn't really call that lunacy considering I agree with him on that point.

We're talking about a guy who called escapism 'right wing'. He is not mentally all there.

Cuck used to mean something on GBS, you could say cuck on GBS and people would know what it truly meant, and its real purpose, but now you just post it and people go "oh its the funny word" or "nice meme idiot". However, this has not impacted my ability to say cuck in casual conversations to coworkers, friends, drive through clerks, and my therapist, a privilege that I exercise on a daily basis.

Yes for a number of valid incidents not just for "uncomfortable"

A very small number of folks use it wrong, like any term, but 99% of the time people whining about it are using that as a fig leaf for fundamental disagreement

Same tactic guys upset that they couldn't tell racist jokes used about "PC"

This nonsense was endemic in the university I went to it and wasn't even a campus particularly known for that style of activism. Imagine trying to get to a scheduled lecture or event or get work done when being forced to pass through this and this sort of shameful display.

Trigger-unhappy

Student “safety” has become a real threat to free speech on campus

FOR an hour or two on a foggy morning last December, some students at the University of Iowa (UI) mistook one of their professors, Serhat Tanyolacar, for a fan of the Ku Klux Klan. Mr Tanyolacar had placed a canvas effigy based on Klan robes, screen-printed with news cuttings about racial violence, on the Pentacrest, the university’s historic heart. The effigy had a camera in its hood to record public reactions.

The reaction among some black students was to fear for their safety, and that is not surprising. What is more of a puzzle—for anyone outside American academia, at least—is that students and UI bosses continued denouncing Mr Tanyolacar for threatening campus safety even after the misunderstanding was cleared up. In vain did the Turkish-born academic explain that he is a “social-political artist”, using Klan imagery to provoke debate about racism. Under pressure from angry students, university chiefs issued two separate apologies. The first expressed regret that students had been exposed to a “deeply offensive” artwork, adding that there is no room for “divisive” speech at UI. The second apologised for taking too long to remove a display which had “terrorised” black students and locals, thereby failing to ensure that all students, faculty, staff and visitors felt “respected and safe”. An unhappy Mr Tanyolacar feels abandoned by the university. He left Iowa earlier this month, when his visiting fellowship came to an end, and has suspended his teaching career.

A crucial word in this tale is “safe”. Campus activists have stretched the meaning of safety from an important but second-order concern—shielding students from serious harm—to a defining ambition for any well-run academy. From town-sized public universities to tiny liberal-arts colleges, students have declared and administrators accepted that teachers or visiting speakers should aim for a psychologically safe learning environment, avoiding ideas or imagery that might prove distressing.

Activists sometimes organise campus “safe spaces” where students may flee alarming material. Door-stickers denote full-time safe zones for specific groups, such as gay and transgender students, or religious non-believers. Demands have multiplied for “trigger warnings”—a device first seen in self-help and feminist internet forums, signalling content that may trigger painful memories—to be applied to challenging books, films or lectures.
